The Village Green's Profile

Considering how briefly things are mainstream and absolutely everywhere, if you can't hold on and keep your interest alive till it's over, it seems like your interest was just in the novelty.

I'd just get rid of the billy, it is too big for the room and it looks like it blocks the light coming from that lone lamp. It looks nearly empty, it seems to me like you don't really need it and it is just taking up space and blocking the light. If you get rid of it the room will appear more spacious.

I advise picking up an smaller (and shorter) inexpensive bookshelf somewhere. Also, just a decorating tip but two table lamps on either side of the couch would make the room look more balanced, light up the room more, and still not compete with the focus on the couch and the artwork.

I think the art looks great, that each are framed in a dark color with a big white border tied them together for their different sizes. Maybe lower them about 6 inches so they are are in the middle between the couch and the ceiling, instead of closer to the ceiling.

If you don't like the word, don't use it. Simple as that. Personally I ask "what do you have to drink that is non-alcoholic" but what does your vocabulary preference have to do with how Apartment Therapy kindly took into consideration that not all people drink alcohol and looked up some fabulous sounding alternatives?
